test 00 page 2races at 50 miles or 100 miles, or there are runs that take 24 hours or six days. They are held ontracks in New York City or on trails in the desert in Utah. The 100-mile

Endurance Run in NorthernCalifornia has become (18)............... popular that the (19).......... of runners

is limited by lottery to 375. Six-day races are rather less popular. In

New York, only 26 men and 5

women turned (20).......... for the six-day run won by 28-year-old Yannis Kouros of Greece when he set a new world record by covering 635 miles. The ultrarunner is in a race apart. One of them says, "There's a risk of getting so involved with it that it consumes you, (21)............ you an imbalanced person. It cuts into your family life. It wrecks your marriage (22)............ strengthens it - certainly nothing in between. Still, it's kind of fun to know you can deal with a situation that would kill almost anyone (23).............."

PART 3: ERROR RECOGNITION

Most but not all of the following lines contain an unnecessary word. Un derline the word that is not needed. If a line is correct, tick (T) it.

WINE AT AUCTION

31. During the winter, most of London auctioneers have wine auctions. Some

are of wines for

32. everyday drinking, but most are of the fine wines. Last winter, a doz

en bottles of Lafite 1945

33. were knocked out down at £158 the bottle. A Mr John Grisanti, a res

taurateur from Memphis,

34. was paid £9,000 for a magnum - that is, a two-bottle size - of 1864

Lafite. He charged 30

35. people $1,500 each person for a dinner with a small glass of the wine.

It was worth ten times

36. more the cost of the wine in publicity for his restaurant. Was it wor

th the money? Well, it is

37. doubtful if you would complain after which you had paid so much for a m

eal. One man in the

38. fine wine business says so: "As far as clarets are concerned, what conf

uses me is that there Advanced English Practice Test 01 Paper 3 English in Use

test 00 page 339. are certainly people who are prepared to pay astronomical prices for win es which I know are

40. nothing but dishwater. Because there is no way that a bottle of wine at

£1000 is one hundred

41. times better off than one that costs £10. Perhaps the top price you

can pay for wine to enjoy

42. for drinking is £100 a bottle. Above £100, you are paying for some

thing other than taste."

PART 4: WORD FORMATION

Complete with a word formed from those in the list.

Governed in Secret

What surprises some overseas observers is the

(43) ............. with which the "mother of democracy" is governed. There is nothing in Britain to compare with the American freedom of (44) .......... act. Mrs Thatcher's press secretary even went so far as to boast to American newspaper reporters that "the ordinary British subject not only has no right to know but does not want to know." Government will go to (45) ......... lengths to preserve itself and avoid embarrassing (46) ..........of the (47) .......... of the ways it runs its business.

The best known example was the way the Thatcher

government spent millions trying to suppress the

Spycatcher book, written in Australia by a

disgruntled former intelligence officer. It is to Australia's credit that the heavy-handed attempt at (48) .......... failed (49) ...........

Why did the government use a (50)

...........to crack this particular nut. What was it really trying to protect?

Man and Beast

Newspapers are fond of what the French call

"squashed dog" stories. Such stories run under the "Man Bites Dog" headline. From France comes the story of an attack on an old man near Calais carried out by a swarm of bees. The (51) ............. might have pleased Hitchcock. The victim was sunning himself in his garden at the time. The firemen were called but were driven back into their van by the (52)............ of the insects. After

45 minutes someone arrived with (53)

............. clothing and insecticide. By then the man sitting in the deck chair was dead, covered in hundreds of stings, most of them on his eyelids.

The French liked the story from London about

grafting a pig's kidneys on to a human patient. They went for the animal rights angle. They like the idea of putting a (54) .............. ring round the hospital to repel people who are intent on rescuing the pig from (55) .................. From London, too, came the story of the brown paper parcel in London's main parcel sorting office, a parcel which moved. (56) ................. do not normally move very quickly through the post office at the best of times, but this one was definitely frisky. A lady

customs officer was summoned to X-ray it. TheX-ray revealed a (57) ..................reptile called a gila monster wrapped in asock. The (58) .................. policetrail led to a salesman in Hampshirewhose back bedroom was filled withrattlesnakes, lethal lizards, snappingturtles and a python, most of which hehad sent himself through the post.43.

llows, using no more thanone or two words in each space. Do not repeat any words from the person

al letter.Dear SarahWhat a ghastly trip I had! I have to write to the travel operators and tell them off. You'd thi

nk they could get the factsstraight in their recent booklet. But no. The hotel rooms were suppose

d to be three-star, and Iwas supposed to get all my meals. At least, that's what they promised, but I even had to pay extrafor dinner, and the Mediterranean was nowhere in sight. What a dump tha

t hotel was, providingnothing, not even a swimming pool. I told their man on the spot but he just said that everything inthe brochure was kosher and correct, and it was all my fault for not che cking. But I did! No doubtabout it. I want all my money back. Slim chance, though. Oh, misery!

LETTER OF COMPLAINT

Dear Sir

I write to (59) ........... about the package tour to Marbella booked through your company on the 15th July for the period 10-16 September. The holiday is advertised on page 34 of your (60) ........ brochure. The (61) .......... given in the brochure completely misrepresented the reality. According to your brochure, (62) ......... should have been three-star, with (63) .......... , and double room with (64) ........... . However, the hotel I stayed in had no stars at all. It was an ordinary pension. The room itself was cramped, even though it contained only one single bed. It faced away from the sea on to a noisy and crowded main street. A (65) ............ had to be paid for an evening meal. To make matters worse, the hotel had no (66) .............. : no swimming pool or private beach, both of which were promised by your misleading brochure. On top of everything else, when I took the matter up with your (67) ............... , Mr Greg Morton, he did nothing at all. He said I should have (68) ............ the details of the brochure when I booked. In fact, I did so, as far as I was able, by asking my tr avel agent for confirmation. He assured me I could rely on the (69) ............... of your brochure. He was wrong. I write to you in the expectation of a (70) ............... of the £650.00 I paid.

Some of the phrases on the list are unsuitable.

HEART DISEASE

Few arguments create greater passion among medical experts (71) ............ Throughout the seventies, the link seemed to be irrefutable. The work of Ancel Keys in America showed (72) ......... His work was supported by studies of Japanese migrants to the United States who developed the heart disease pattern of their adopted country. By the end of the eighties, however, a reaction had set in. Some doctors refused to accept any connection between diet and heart disease. They have argued (73) .........., although unlikely to cause physical harm, could lead to malnutrition, particularly among children. They are appalled (74) ......... . Come between some doctors and their bacon and eggs and feelings will run high. The nutritionists have fought back. They remain convinced (75) ........... One doctor argues that a fibre-rich diet is only of use to those who suffer from diabetes. Rubbish, say the nutritionists, and go on to point out (76) ............ At least one in seven takes laxatives. And dietary fibre is of proven value in the treatment of constipation. A. that sugary, fatty foods lead to preventable ill health

B. that a poor diet can make unhealthy people

C. that diets which cut back on dairy produce

D. that heart disease correlated in different countries with dairy food consumption

E. that serious malfunction may occur

F. than the postulated link between diet and heart disease G. that a different attitude is needed by the medical profession H. that over one third of British adults are constipated I. that breakfast should be under attack by the spectre of disease

J. that not more attention is paid to it
